*) mod_dav: Disallow requests with an unescaped hash character in
the Request-URI. PR 21779. [Amit Athavale <amit_athavale lycos.com>]
*) mod_proxy with ProxyErrorOverride On in a reverse-proxy configuration
attaches a body to the 302 response and a wrong Content-Length header.
PR: 22951 [Ermanno Scaglione scaglione ..at.. starnetone.de]
*) Bring ErrorHeader concept forward from 1.3, so that response
header fields can be set for return even on errors or external
redirects. [Ken Coar]
*) Fix <Limit> and <LimitExcept> parsing to require a closing '>'
in the initial container. PR 25414.
[Geoffrey Young <geoff apache.org>]
*) Clean up httpd -V output: Instead of displaying the MPM source
directory, display the MPM name and some MPM properties.
[Geoffrey Young <geoff apache.org>]
*) mod_ssl/mod_status: Re-enable support for output of SSL session
cache information in server-status page. [Joe Orton]
*) mod_ssl: Remove the shmht session cache, shmcb should be used
instead. [Joe Orton]

dropped connections. [Jeff Trawick]

*) Log an error when requests for URIs which fail to map to a valid
filesystem name are rejected with 403. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Switch to APR 1.0 API.
*) Major overhaul of mod_include's filter parser. The new parser code
is expected to be more robust and should catch all of the edge cases
that were not handled by the previous one. This includes a binary
incompatible change of mod_include's external API. [André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: Allow forced mimetypes [T=...] to get expanded.
PR 14223. [André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: Fix LA-U and LA-F lookups in directory context. Previously
the current rewrite state was just used as lookup path, which lead to
strange and often useless results. Related to PR 8493. [André Malo]
*) Change Listen directive to bind to all addresses when a hostname is
not specified. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Correct failure with Listen directives on machines with IPv6 enabled.
[Colm MacCárthaigh <colm stdlib.net>, Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Fix a link failure in mod_ssl when the OpenSSL libraries contain
the ENGINE functions but the engine header files are missing.
[Cliff Woolley]
*) mod_rewrite: RewriteRules in server context using the force
type feature [T=...] no longer disable MultiViews. [André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: Allow piped rewrite logs to be relative to ServerRoot.
[André Malo]
*) mod_authz_groupfile: Strip trailing spaces of group names. This
hopefully saves some hours of searching for typos. PR 12863.
[André Malo]
*) mod_actions: Propagate the handler name to the action script via
the REDIRECT_HANDLER environment variable. [André Malo]
*) mod_actions: Introduce the "virtual" modifier to the Action directive,
which allows the use of handlers for virtual locations. PR 8431.
[André Malo]
*) mod_speling: Recognize AcceptPathInfo setting for the particular
location. Default is to reject path information. PR 21059.
[André Malo]
*) mod_ext_filter: Add the ability to filter request bodies.
[Philipp Reisner <philipp.reisner linbit.com>]
*) Fix some broken log messages in WinNT MPM.
[Juan Rivera <Juan.Rivera citrix.com>]
*) prefork MPM: Use the right permissions for the directory created
for gprof support. [Jim Carlson <jcarlson jnous.com>]
*) Fix a compile failure with recent OpenSSL and picky compilers
(e.g., OpenSSL 0.9.7a and xlc_r on AIX). [Jeff Trawick]
*) OpenSSL headers should be included as "openssl/ssl.h", and not rely on
the INCLUDE path to be defined properly.
PR 11310. [Geoff Thorpe <geoff geoffthorpe.net>]
*) Modify APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT to detect SSL-C. [Madhusudan Mathihalli]
*) Replace the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT method with a cleaner one, using
autoconf tools (AC_CHECK_HEADER, AC_CHECK_LIB etc).
[Geoff Thorpe <geoff geoffthorpe.net>]
*) change directive name from 'compressionlevel' to 'deflatecompressionlevel'
[Ian Holsman, André Malo]
*) mod_negotiation: quality values are now parsed independent from
the current locale. level values are now really parsed as integers.
PR 17564. [André Malo]
*) Extend mod_negotiation to evaluate the environment variables
no-gzip and gzip-only-text/html the same way as mod_deflate does.
[André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: Fix some problems reporting errors with mapping
programs (RewriteMap prg:/something). [Jeff Trawick]
*) Return 413 if chunk-ext-header is too long rather than reading from
the truncated line. PR 15857. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Allow restart of httpd to occur even with syntax errors in the config
file. PR 16813. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Use APR_LAYOUT instead of APACHE_LAYOUT in configure. PR 15679.
[Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Remove files on 'make distclean' that should be. PR 15592.
[Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Allow apachectl to perform status with links and elinks as well.
[Justin Erenkrantz]
*) mod_log_config change optional hook to return previous handler
[Ian Holsman]
*) Forward port of mod_actions' ability to handle arbitrary methods
with the Script directive. [André Malo]
*) Let suexec send a message to stderr, if it failed or its policy
was violated. This message appears in the error log and allows
for easier debugging. PR 5381, 7638, 8255, 10773. [André Malo]
*) Modify buildconf to copy all required files into httpd's tree.
[Thom May <thom planetarytramp.net>]
*) Allow mod_dav to do weak entity comparison functions.
[Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Move RFC 1413 ident requests from core to new module mod_ident.
[André Malo]
*) Add mod_authz_owner - a forward port of "Require file-owner"
and "Require file-group", which was already present in version
1.3.21. [André Malo]
*) Add mod_dav_lock - a generic subset of the DAV locking implementation.
[Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Replace some of the mutex locking in the worker MPM with
atomic operations for higher concurrency. [Brian Pane]
*) Allow 'make depend' to work with non-GCC compilers.
[Justin Erenkrantz]
*) If an httpd.conf has commented out AddModule directives,
apxs -i -a will add an un-commented AddModule directive for
the new module, which breaks the config.
PR: 11212 [Joe Orton]
*) Fix mod_proxy handling of filtered input bodies. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Move the check of the Expect request header field after the hook
for ap_post_read_request, since that is the only opportunity for
modules to handle Expect extensions. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Rewrite of aaa modules to an authn/authz model.
